Nexus | Gathering Large // Connecting Small

This Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10:45am in the gym, the vision God began planting at Gayton two years ago will bloom!

To say we're excited is an under-statement! We're excited to meet our neighbors. We're honored to follow God's lead as He shapes a new way to connect with those unfamiliar with church. We're humbled by what He's done, what He's doing, and what He will do and that the people of Gayton get to be a part of this new work.

We've already heard many stories from within our Gayton Church family and from others in the community about how God is using Nexus to stir hearts. We will continue to follow in obedience to Him, in Nexus, Celebration, and Cornerstone, to see every life changed by Jesus!

Thank you to all who have prayed so diligently, believing and hoping in what God is doing through Nexus. And thank you to the many hands and hearts who have been a part of making this a reality.

SEE YA THERE!

Join us in the gym for The Dinner Table each Wednesday evening beginning at 5:15pm! Gather, eat, connect!

OUR GOD IS WORTHY OF ALL OUR WORSHIP!

We're excited to bring more definition to three distinct expressions of worship at Gayton...

Celebration! at 9:30am in the Worship Center is a worship expression containing both contemporary and traditional elements, with a focus on the contemporary.

Cornerstone at 10:45am in the Worship Center is a worship expression honoring Jesus through traditional music & hymn.

Nexus at 10:45am in the Gym is a modern expression of worship geared toward the next generation and those unfamiliar with church.

In each service, there will be a time of worship through music, a message rooted in the Bible, and other unique creative elements. Each service designed to lift high the one true and awesome God!
